I have recently put my Broadway Limited E6A/B units in HO service with my DCC Digitrax control. They are really nice units with excellent detail, paint, sound effects and low speed operation. I seem to have one problem, if there is a short anywhere in the power block their in, (not necessarily caused by them) the E6's stay in shorted mode thereby shorting out the block. This can be corrected by tilting the E6's to cut power to them at which time they will reset thenselves and the block. Mfg literature refers to this and says to cut power to the loco to restore. They don't say a short anywhere in the power block will cause the E6's to short. In addition with DCC you have power on the tracks at all times therefore to cut power to the E6 you must cut block power shutting down everything. Tilting the E6's is an inconvenience and I don't know of a similar prototypical practice[:)] Does anyone have any ideas on this? By the way the numerous reviews on these units do NOT refer to this problem.
